Using reanalysis data to characterize Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers

Creator:

Ourada, Quin

Abstract:

The net mass balance fluctuations of Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers, north of 47.5° North latitude, are described over a 45-year period from 1957 to 2002 using two parameters derived from a gridded climatology reanalysis. Variability among 185 measured glaciers was represented according to two main components. The first component represents...

Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:

Rathi, Vardan M.

Abstract:

The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...

Type-correct changes — a safe approach to version control implementation

Creator:

Dagit, Jason

Abstract:

Ensuring correctness of real-world software applications is a challenging task. Testing can be used to ﬁnd many bugs, but is typically not sufficient for proving correctness or even eliminating entire classes of bugs. However, formal proof and verification techniques tend to be very heavy weight and are simply not available...
